Is it cold in here?:
Global Moderator Comment Now that you mention it, this went much much better than when Marten and Claire started dating. Many thanks to all the new people for being decent.

I imagine she gets a daily colonic.

The last few pages of this thread are why I stayed away from the forums for so long. Apparently, at least according to many of the people commenting here, a story can't be good unless everything is blowing up in everyone's faces all the damn time. I mean seriously, why the hell do so many people seem to have a problem with Claire actually finding somebody who DOESN'T make a big deal out of her being trans*? Why can't she just enjoy herself for at least a few days (yeah, they've only officially been dating for like 4 days) before people start whining about how horrible happiness is?
As far as I'm concerned, Jeph has done a great job of *not* making Claire a series of issues, and letting her develop as her own character without being a mouth piece for a single issue. That's rare to see, even in comics written by trans* people, about trans* people. If you people want to read about trans* drama, then go read one of those, but please stop complaining about Claire, reading about her is like an oasis in a desert of hard times, and no, sadly I am not exaggerating.
Ugh... Note to self: The next time I'm happy about something that happens in this comic, avoid reading the comments in these forums for at least a week afterward. They're just chock full of people who apparently can't stand a little bit of optimism, or for a trans* character's life to be filled with anything other than misery and hard times.
Edit: Before I try to avoid the forums for the next week, I should clarify that my little rant was about the people who are complaining that the situation between Claire and Marten isn't "realistic", or about how they apparently feel that this was a wasted opportunity to showcase something trans* people deal with a lot (rejection). It was not about the people who are just complaining about a lack of drama in the comic in general (Claireten's date was "too sweet" or something along those lines), although frankly I also think that those people are just as wrong, since the SS Fangus hitting a freakin' iceberg in the middle of the arctic ocean should have been more than enough to satisfy, but I digress. This kind of thing does happen, albeit rarely, and it's nice to see it portrayed in such a popular webcomic, happening to a prominent character that so many people hold dear.

Great, now I have to start acting like an asshole. You did this.

For my next order of business I will now deviously insult you all.
Man this thread sure is smelly, what with all the smelly people here.
